Cues from Lord's nets: Why Gill and Pant skipped training; Bumrah's final touches

Following a travel day from Birmingham, India's cricket team held an optional practice session at Lord's Cricket Ground. Key players like Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant were absent, while Jasprit Bumrah, returning for the third Test, bowled extensively and worked on his batting. The team, buoyed by their Edgbaston victory, aims to capitalise on Bumrah's return and the bowlers' form.
